PulseEight have stated they will be adding native Raspberry Pi CEC support to libCEC, so assuming this happens then it's a certainty that XBMC on R-Pi will allow you to use your CEC supporting TV remote control to navigate XBMC - no adapter required!

This is great news for ultra cheap media center installations - no need for a USB IR dongle and nasty Media Center remote control (at about £15 that's over half the cost of an R-Pi) plus it doesn't tie up one of the only two available USB ports (I know you can use a hub, but now you might not have to).

Seems like someone is already working on a xbmcpi version so you might be in luck. I cant wait to see how things comes along personally.

that's almost ridiculous. All users will need is a TV, a pi, a usb cable, and hdmi cable.
